If someone asked Justine if she regretted 'it', she would admit that yes, indeed, she was already full of regret.
Had she known that they would be interrupted so soon, she would never have dilly-dallied like that!
The back of her precious darling truck was wide and comfortable, and would serve just as well as any bed! There was no real need to even bring Emilia back to her room, was there? She'd been too stupid and muddled!
If she was going to be caught in the end anyway, wouldn't it better to reap the rewards first?
Unfortunately, it was now too late for regret. Not only did she not get to fuck Emilia, but she also got caught by that overprotective knight of hers. Right now, she had absolutely no idea what would happen next.
Execution? Threesome? Who knows.
Of course, having worked under her direct command for so long, Justine understood Emilia more than enough to know that she would never let any harm befall her due to her own 'tempting'. In that sense, she was safe.
But that was of little consolation to Justine, who could only wallow in self-loathing in the guest room, while the gorgeous girl she had brought back to screw was probably getting fucked by someone else.
And in her own bed, too! How infuriating was that?!
Emilia had assured her that she would be getting compensated later, of course, but Justine wasn't sure what could compensate for a chance of taking the virginity of her little boss. Whatever the trade was, it was definitely a loss!
And what made the situation infinitely worse, was that she couldn't even get herself off!
With all her precious toys safely hidden in her bedroom, Justine was left with just her fingers and imagination, which had long since stopped being sufficient years ago.
'T-That bedpost is starting to look oddly tempting…'
Just as she was starting to lose her mind, however, a knock on the door startled her out of her daze.
The ex-officer almost jumped in shock. Hadn't she already sent those three curious little dummies away? If they were back to direct their curious questions at her again, her day was bound to get worse. "Who is it?!"
There was a moment of silence, and Justine gulped when she heard the terrifyingly loud sound of gritting teeth.
"Open the fucking door, princess called for you!"
Despair immediately turned to joy at those words, and Justine bolted from the bed and flung the door open without a second thought. "Don't tell me it's my turn?! Hell yeah!"
Dixie's eyes immediately turned dark. "Your fucking mo—!"
Recalling that Emilia had forbidden her from scolding and harming the girl, however, the knight could only take a deep breath to calm down. "… Just follow me."
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Under Dixie's dark, ominous glare, by the time Justine arrived at the gate to her own bedroom, her legs were already shaking in fright. And to make matters much, much worse, the girl had made her wear a blindfold.
A blindfold!
This was her own base, okay? It's not like she wouldn't recognize the way if she was blindfolded! It served absolutely no purpose, at all. Dixie was just being petty now, she was sure!
Dixie knocked on the door. "Princess, I brought her. Can we come in?"
Hearing her hum, the knight immediately pushed Justine inside before getting in herself and closing the door. The hinges were clearly not what they used to be, and they made a horrible squeaking sound with each movement of the door.
Justine made a mental note to get them changed later. With her luck, maybe the squeaking hinges would scare off the next person she brought back to fuck.
Unaware of the girl's wandering thoughts, Emilia couldn't help but smile when she saw Justine's blindfolded and confused face. She pulled her by the hand till she was sitting on the bed, and patted her palm gently. "Sorry for blindfolding you. Actually, I look quite embarrassed right now, and I didn't want anyone to see. So…"
Of course, it wasn't that she would mind Justine looking at her naked so much as it was the fact that she was in her original form.
But she was sure that Dixie wouldn't be able to have a civil conversation with Justine for now, given how tense the situation had been earlier, so she could only talk to her in person.
As a bonus, her knight wouldn't stew in jealousy from Justine gazing at her naked original form thanks to the blindfold. And, for now, she could continue enjoying the privilege of being the only one who had seen her true form and knew who she was.
Other than Dixie, Crystal, and Samantha, Emilia didn't believe anyone else should be allowed to know of such a thing. And even for them, she would only reveal it if it was needed. That is to say, either the situation demanded it, or they became her lovers.
Justine didn't really understand, but although she was pouting in her heart, she could only accept Emilia's words. "I-I don't mind at all."
Emilia was relieved that the older girl could adjust for now, and made a note to compensate her properly later. "Un, actually, Justine… can you lend me some clothes? I need a pair of undergarments, and also outer clothing. I'd prefer something like a sundress for now, if possible."
Since she planned to go out, a dress that wouldn't look too out of place on a body that was taller than Justine gave her the clothes for would of course be the best.
Meanwhile, Justine's mind was already on the smell of her own shower gel and shampoo, and knew that not only was Emilia naked, she was had also just showered. Still, she somehow managed to listen and nod to the girl's words. "A-A pair of undies and sundress… un, I can arrange it shortly. But… w-will you leave?"
Emilia could hear her hesitation, and knew that she had been quite unfair to the girl.
First, she had seduced and tempted her till she went out of control, and then, before she could be satisfied, she had been kicked out of her own bedroom to wait inconclusively.
Knowing how infuriating it was to be interrupted and left to her own frustrations, Emilia couldn't help but sympathize with Justine.
That being said, however, her way of thinking had subtly changed after doing it with Dixie, and she no longer intended to do it with Justine just yet.
Emilia squeezed the girl's palm with a sigh. "I'm sorry about misleading you before, Justine. And, I know this will sound bad after I even gave you my consent earlier, but I won't be sleeping with you for a while."
Justine had already expected as much, given Dixie's attitude earlier, but it was still disappointing to hear it directly from Emilia.
After all, given the willful and mischievous nature of her little boss, there had always been a little hope in her heart that it would all still work out. 'D-Don't tell me I'll hit my thirties without getting laid, will I?!'
